The folks over at Google should be pretty happy to hear the latest stats from market tracker NPD. According to them, about a third of all smartphones sold in the US between April and June this year were Android-powered devices, most of them Motorola Droids (which should make Verizon happy). Google’s CEO, Eric Schmidt, also claims that a good 200,000 Android phones are sold every day, which just further confirms that Android devices are here to stay for quite some time. Let’s see if Microsoft’s upcoming Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system will be able to crash Google’s party.

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
